Ok, I had a serious attack on my computer a couple of weeks ago and have tried everything to get rid of it my self.......to no avail. It started with a red screen taking over our desk top and countless pop ups telling me to load such and such program. I've downloaded Spy Dr, Spybot, AVG Free Antispyware, Ad-Aware and run countless scans in Safe mode and in normal mode. These programs have found a bunch of spyware, malware, registry entries and so on and deleted or quarantined them all but I still get a tool bar thing that pops up saying that I may have a virus and to scan with so and so and new windows will open in explorer and just go nuts. I also have Norton but it never found anything. What has come up most often is the three threats I've listed in the title when I run Spybot S & D, I FIX then everytime but still get them over and over, especially the Microsoft one. I have followed all of your instructions in the Preparation for Use Before Posting article and have pasted the Hijack This report below. Please help, I am at my wits end with this. Thanks, Maria

Hello there and welcome to BleepingComputer. My name is Charles and I will be dealing with your log today. Do not bump your topic. We try to resolve logs on a first come, first served basis, by bumping you will just push yourself back in the line. Download Combofix to your Desktop.Double click combofix.exeFollow the prompts that are displayed. Don't click on the window while the fix is running, because that will cause your system to hang.When finished, it should produce a log, combofix.txt.

Post that in your next reply with a fresh HijackThis log.

If you are pleased with the service I have offered, you may like to consider making a donation.

Then close all other windows - you should only see HijackThis on your Desktop - and click the Fix checked button.

Reboot: IMPORTANT

Well, I just had a message from Spybot SD Resident saying it found an important registry change. The old data was the name of one of the users (Teddy) and the new data was Owner. It had shown this a couple of days ago and I allowed the change but today I denied it because I really didn't know what else to do.

These popped up back to back, as soon as I denied one the other would pop up. I have 5 user accounts on my computer mine is the owner and an admin, Teddy as an admin, TMU as an admin but was recently changed to limited, a limited child user and a limited guest account. There is also the guest account that came with the system but I have it turned off because it can be accessed with out I password. We were in Teddy's account when the problems started.
